The new L200 is the most stunning, spacious, sophisticated, comfortable, maneuverable, car-like pick-up ever, no question.

But don't think for one second that the new L200 has gone soft - here you can see its close relationship to the Mitsubishi Truck Evolution which debuted in the hostile conditions of the 2005 Dakar Rally - a race Mitsubishi won this year for a record twelfth time.

Since the new L200 is stronger, safer, more stable and more powerful than its predecessor - a vehicle which has proved its worth many times in world class cross country rallying - there's absolutely no doubt that this particular beauty is far, far more than a pretty face.
